    Description: The 2,272,351-base pair genome of Neisseria meningitidis strain MC58 (serogroup B), a causative agent of meningitis and septicemia, contains 2158 predicted coding regions, 1158 (53.7%) of which were assigned a biological role. Three major islands of horizontal DNA transfer were identified; two of these contain genes encoding proteins involved in pathogenicity, and the third island contains coding sequences only for hypothetical proteins. Insights into the commensal and virulence behavior of N. meningitidis can be gleaned from the genome, in which sequences for structural proteins of the pilus are clustered and several coding regions unique to serogroup B capsular polysaccharide synthesis can be identified. Finally, N. meningitidis contains more genes that undergo phase variation than any pathogen studied to date, a mechanism that controls their expression and contributes to the evasion of the host immune system.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tettelin, H -- Saunders, N J -- Heidelberg, J -- Jeffries, A C -- Nelson, K E -- Eisen, J A -- Ketchum, K A -- Hood, D W -- Peden, J F -- Dodson, R J -- Nelson, W C -- Gwinn, M L -- DeBoy, R -- Peterson, J D -- Hickey, E K -- Haft, D H -- Salzberg, S L -- White, O -- Fleischmann, R D -- Dougherty, B A -- Mason, T -- Ciecko, A -- Parksey, D S -- Blair, E -- Cittone, H -- Clark, E B -- Cotton, M D -- Utterback, T R -- Khouri, H -- Qin, H -- Vamathevan, J -- Gill, J -- Scarlato, V -- Masignani, V -- Pizza, M -- Grandi, G -- Sun, L -- Smith, H O -- Fraser, C M -- Moxon, E R -- Rappuoli, R -- Venter, J C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Mar 10;287(5459):1809-15.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), 9712 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, MD 20850, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10710307" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The complete genome sequence of the radiation-resistant bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans R1 is composed of two chromosomes (2,648,638 and 412,348 base pairs), a megaplasmid (177,466 base pairs), and a small plasmid (45,704 base pairs), yielding a total genome of 3,284, 156 base pairs. Multiple components distributed on the chromosomes and megaplasmid that contribute to the ability of D. radiodurans to survive under conditions of starvation, oxidative stress, and high amounts of DNA damage were identified. Deinococcus radiodurans represents an organism in which all systems for DNA repair, DNA damage export, desiccation and starvation recovery, and genetic redundancy are present in one cell.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4147723/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4147723/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉White, O -- Eisen, J A -- Heidelberg, J F -- Hickey, E K -- Peterson, J D -- Dodson, R J -- Haft, D H -- Gwinn, M L -- Nelson, W C -- Richardson, D L -- Moffat, K S -- Qin, H -- Jiang, L -- Pamphile, W -- Crosby, M -- Shen, M -- Vamathevan, J J -- Lam, P -- McDonald, L -- Utterback, T -- Zalewski, C -- Makarova, K S -- Aravind, L -- Daly, M J -- Minton, K W -- Fleischmann, R D -- Ketchum, K A -- Nelson, K E -- Salzberg, S -- Smith, H O -- Venter, J C -- Fraser, C M -- R01 CA077712/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Nov 19;286(5444):1571-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Genomic Research, 9712 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, MD 20850, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10567266" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The complete genome sequence of Treponema pallidum was determined and shown to be 1,138,006 base pairs containing 1041 predicted coding sequences (open reading frames). Systems for DNA replication, transcription, translation, and repair are intact, but catabolic and biosynthetic activities are minimized. The number of identifiable transporters is small, and no phosphoenolpyruvate:phosphotransferase carbohydrate transporters were found. Potential virulence factors include a family of 12 potential membrane proteins and several putative hemolysins. Comparison of the T. pallidum genome sequence with that of another pathogenic spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease, identified unique and common genes and substantiates the considerable diversity observed among pathogenic spirochetes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fraser, C M -- Norris, S J -- Weinstock, G M -- White, O -- Sutton, G G -- Dodson, R -- Gwinn, M -- Hickey, E K -- Clayton, R -- Ketchum, K A -- Sodergren, E -- Hardham, J M -- McLeod, M P -- Salzberg, S -- Peterson, J -- Khalak, H -- Richardson, D -- Howell, J K -- Chidambaram, M -- Utterback, T -- McDonald, L -- Artiach, P -- Bowman, C -- Cotton, M D -- Fujii, C -- Garland, S -- Hatch, B -- Horst, K -- Roberts, K -- Sandusky, M -- Weidman, J -- Smith, H O -- Venter, J C -- AI31068/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1998 Jul 17;281(5375):375-88.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Genomic Research, Rockville, MD 20850, USA. tpdb@tigr.org〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9665876" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The complete nucleotide sequence (580,070 base pairs) of the Mycoplasma genitalium genome, the smallest known genome of any free-living organism, has been determined by whole-genome random sequencing and assembly. A total of only 470 predicted coding regions were identified that include genes required for DNA replication, transcription and translation, DNA repair, cellular transport, and energy metabolism. Comparison of this genome to that of Haemophilus influenzae suggests that differences in genome content are reflected as profound differences in physiology and metabolic capacity between these two organisms.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fraser, C M -- Gocayne, J D -- White, O -- Adams, M D -- Clayton, R A -- Fleischmann, R D -- Bult, C J -- Kerlavage, A R -- Sutton, G -- Kelley, J M -- Fritchman, R D -- Weidman, J F -- Small, K V -- Sandusky, M -- Fuhrmann, J -- Nguyen, D -- Utterback, T R -- Saudek, D M -- Phillips, C A -- Merrick, J M -- Tomb, J F -- Dougherty, B A -- Bott, K F -- Hu, P C -- Lucier, T S -- Peterson, S N -- Smith, H O -- Hutchison, C A 3rd -- Venter, J C -- AI33161/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AIO8998/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- HL19171/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1995 Oct 20;270(5235):397-403.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Genomic Research, Rockville, MD 20850, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7569993" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
